Shea Butter

Shea butter is obtained from the nut of the fruit which grows on the Karite tree. It is native to West Africa.

This Shea Butter is naturally cleaned and deodorized without using any chemicals. It is first extracted from the nuts by crushing them and then using heat to release the butter. To take out any dirt and impurities it is then put through a meshing system and soaked through fullers earth.

Historical uses for Shea Butter include natural sun protection, healing of scars, preventing or reducing stretch marks. It can be applied directly to the skin in it's ready form or added to many of your bath & body products to enhance their effect on the skin.

During the hot summer months, your Shea Butter may arrive with a grainy texture. That is caused by the heating of the daytime temperatures, and then a slow cooling during the overnight hours in the delivery vehicle.
Grainy Shea not a sign of spoiled or bad butter and is still good for use. To remove the grainy texture, slowly heat the Shea Butter until it is completely melted, and cool it quickly in the refrigerator. Do not heat above what is needed to re-melt, as that can damage the Shea. Do not heat to and hold at 170 degrees.
